COMFORT
DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING
The air conditioning operates when the
engine is running, as well as in STOP
mode with Stop & Start. For your comfort, when the en-
gine is switched off, the settings
are retained until the engine is
switched on again.
To prevent too great a distribu-
tion of cold air when the engine
is cold, the air fl ow will only reach
its optimum level gradually.
On entering the vehicle, if the
interior is very cold or hot, there
is no need to change the value
displayed in order to reach the
required level of comfort. The
system corrects the temperature
difference automatically and as
quickly as possible.


1. Automatic "comfort" programme
Press the "AUTO"
button. The
"AUTO"
symbol is displayed.
We recommend that you use this mode.
It provides optimised automatic control
of all of the following functions: passen-
ger compartment temperature, air fl ow,
air distribution and air intake, in accor-
dance with the comfort value that you
have chosen.
This system is designed to operate ef-
fectively in all seasons, with the windows
closed.
2. Temperature adjustment
The value indicated on the display cor-
responds to a level of comfort and not
to a temperature in degrees Celsius or
Fahrenheit.
Press the "



"
and "



"
but-
tons to change this value. A
setting around the value 21
en-
ables optimum comfort to be
obtained. However, depending
on your requirements, a setting
between 18 and 24 is usual.
3. Automatic "visibility" programme
The automatic comfort pro-
gramme may not be suffi cient
for rapid demisting or defrost-
ing of the windscreen and side
windows (humidity, several
passengers, ice, etc.).
In this case, select the automatic visibility
programme. The button 3
indicator lamp
comes on.
The system automatically controls the
air conditioning and the fl ow of air and
provides optimum air distribution to the
windscreen and side windows. It deacti-
vates air recirculation 5
.
To exit this programme, press button 3

again or "AUTO"
, the indicator lamp on
the button goes off and "AUTO"
is dis-
played.



Manual override

It is possible to adjust one or more func-
tions manually while leaving the other
functions in automatic mode.
The "AUTO"
symbol switches off.
To return to automatic mode, press the
"AUTO"
button.
Switching to manual mode may
not be suitable (temperature,
humidity, odour, condensation)
and does not provide optimum
comfort.

can only operate when the engine is
running.


)
Press this button to demist/defrost
the rear screen and (depending on
version) the door mirrors. The indi-
cator lamp associated with the but-
ton comes on.



Switching off

The demisting/defrosting switches off
automatically to prevent an excessive
consumption of current.


)
It is possible to stop the demisting/
defrosting operation before it is
switched off automatically by pressing
the button again. The indicator lamp
associated with the button switches
off. The control button is located on
the heating or air conditioning
system control panel.

fore the demisting/defrosting is
switched off automatically, dem-
isting/defrosting will resume next
time the engine is switched on.


)
Switch off the demisting/de-
frosting of the rear screen
and door mirrors as soon as
appropriate as lower current
consumption results in re-
duced fuel consumption.







With Stop & Start, when dem-
isting has been activated, the
STOP mode is not available.

Anti-theft protection


Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, this code must
be recognised in order for starting to be
possible. In the event of a fault, you
are informed by illumina-
tion of this warning lamp,
an audible signal and a message in the
screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start;
contact a CITROËN dealer as soon as
possible.
Keep safely the label attached to the
keys given to you on acquisition of the
vehicle.

Locating your vehicle



)
Press the closed pad-
lock to locate your locked
vehicle in a car park.
This is indicated by lighting of the cour-
tesy lamps and fl ashing of the direction
indicators for a few seconds. This electronic engine immobiliser locks
the engine management system a few
minutes after the ignition is switched off
and prevents starting of the engine by
anyone who does not have the key.






Deadlocking using the remote
control


)
Press the closed padlock
to lock the vehicle com-
pletely.

)
Press the closed padlock again
within fi ve seconds to deadlock the
vehicle.



Deadlocking using the key


)
Turn the key to the left in the driver’s
door lock to lock the vehicle com-
pletely.

)

Turn the key to the left again within
fi ve seconds to deadlock the vehicle.

Deadlocking is confi rmed by fi xed light-
ing of the direction indicators for ap-
proximately two seconds.
According to version, the door mirrors
fold at the same time.
Deadlocking renders the exte-
rior and interior door controls
inoperative.
It also deactivates the manual
central control button.
Therefore, never leave anyone
inside the vehicle when it is
deadlocked.

ACCESS
Lost keys
Visit a CITROËN dealer with the vehicle's registration document, your per-
sonal identifi cation documents and if possible the key code label.
The CITROËN dealer will be able to fi nd the key code and the transponder
code required to order a new key.







Do not throw the remote con-
trol batteries away, they contain
metals which are harmful to the
environment.
Take them to an approved col-
lection point.
Remote control

The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it
while it is in your pocket as there is a possibility that it may unlock the ve-
hicle, without you being aware of it.
Do not repeatedly press the buttons of your remote control out of range and
out of sight of your vehicle. You run the risk of stopping it from working and
the remote control would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition switch,
even when the ignition is switched off, except for reinitialisation.


Locking the vehicle

Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compart-
ment by the emergency services more diffi cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the key from the
ignition switch when you leave the vehicle, even for a short time.


Anti-theft protection

Do not make any modifi cations to the electronic engine immobiliser system;
this could cause malfunctions.

When purchasing a second-hand vehicle

Have the pairing of all of the keys in your possession checked by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that only your keys can be used to open and
start the vehicle.
